What is in your cup? - Page 409

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Another day and another cup of Taylor's of Harrogate's English Breafast tea to go along with my breaky of miso soup (no chicken in it, pooh) and rice. Nice combination...

I had an almost girlfriend named Rose once. She wouldn't let me collect her hips. I tried though. God knows I tried...

Try the 'Extra Smokey' Lapsang Souchong from McNultey's Tea & Coffee in NYC. Their prices are good and they ship quickly. It's like licking the inside of a tea-flavored fireplace.

Shel, I hope you wake up to a better mood and a nice lucky day.

Betty, those empty tea bags are a life saver for me. I pre-fill them with my different favorites and store in air-tight tins. In the morning when my hand-eye coordination rates right up there with my visual acuity and there is absolutely NO WAY IN HELL that I could spoon out loose leaf tea without spilling it all over the kitchen, all I need to do is reach for one of my pre-filled tea bags and I'm good to go!

And it's time to go right now... second cup... this time I think it shall be East India Company's Assam.

Puppy? Did I hear puppy?

We have a home visit scheduled for tomorrow night so the adoption agency can give us a puppy.

I just need to feel 'life' around me. New life, energetic life, the spirits of Springtime, etc. Waaaay too much death and dying in my past. I want life and living now. Color me green.

P.S. I do NOT want to change diapers or clean up after errant puppies ever again. My cat is properly socialized, and only upchucks in the middle of the living room floor a few times a week. I'd love puppies, but only if I get to live in a house instead of an apartment again, and have a yard for them to play in. Here in Japan, most folks use 'indoor potty mats,' and I don't want to face that.

Kitten's I'll take. In fact we were talking about getting another just the other day, wondering how Felicity would take to having a little sister.

it would read a lot better you cooing over a kitten than a tea plant

Caya seems to be anxious. She has met many a puppy over the last few weeks and seems to sense that something is happening. She is a bit more whiny these days.

maianhvk · 01-05-2011, 10:14 PM

well, just finished breakfast here: 2 loaves of bread, together with omelets, some tangerines and a small glass of water. I'm in the mood for some drink. any suggestion?

ProfCrash · 01-05-2011, 10:16 PM

ummmm

Perhaps something that is steeped in hit water for anywhere between 1-5 minutes...

happy_terd · 01-05-2011, 11:04 PM

Last cup of coffee for the day.

no! come on, I'm really not that interested in tea.

okay, iced lemon tea is acceptable, but it's 9 degrees now. there must be something better than that. I'm considering ice-cream.

Ice cream would get my vote everytime

now that's got me thinking about a coke float (ice cream and coke) but I should be sleeping instead.
